Author: Thomas Robinson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Our Father, God, and Savior, Hear Thou our fervent prayer, And let Thy gracious favor Now rest upon this pair. They come to be united As husband and as wife, Thus in Thy presence plighted, In fellowship for life. 2. In Eden’s peaceful bower God did for man provide A help-meet and a dower, Made from his opened side. In this, Lord, Thou hast given A figure of Thy Bride, For whom Thou cam’st from Heaven, Hast suffered, bled, and died. 3. When shines the sun in gladness, Or clouds of sorrow lower, In scenes of joy or sadness, Be Thou their lofty tower; The rock of their salvation, When things of earth allure; In all times of temptation, Their refuge, tried and sure. 4. In bonds which naught can sever Let them united be, In sweet communion ever, Lord Jesus Christ, with Thee. Still cheer them with the story Of Thy redeeming love, Until they keep in glory Their bridal feast above. Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

Henry Thomas Smart

1813 - 1879 Composer of "LANCASHIRE" in The Cyber Hymnal Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known). Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporizations and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for important places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861). Bert Polman
